Downtown to the Waterfront: Transforming SW Harvey Milk and Oak

City of Possibility is pleased to present the results of our second workshop to re-envision downtown's connection to Waterfront Park: Transforming the Harvey Milk/Oak Corridor.

Join us to see the ideas generated so far and add yours!

No two streets arguably have as much potential—along with some challenges—as Harvey Milk and Oak to become the kind of live/work/play urban neighborhood that will be the next chapter of downtown Portland's evolution:

• The streets stretch from Powell's Books and the burgeoning West End through the coming Darcelle XV and Pride plazas to the Willamette River
• They intersect both the future Green Loop and the current "I-5 of fiber"--major bandwidth and durable power for tech development
• There are four potential office-residential conversion opportunities and eight surface parking lots primed to sprout housing and space for innovation
• They end at an underdeveloped portion of Waterfront Park--a prime spot for a major new amenity: an artwork, playground, floating dock or . . . tell us what the city needs!
